The Wedding Beat
A Novel
- Paperback: $14.00 add to cart
Sometimes the best man isn't even in the wedding party...
Gavin Greene is a hopeless romantic. He's also a professional one: he writes the wedding column for a Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper, covering spectacular parties from coast to coast. But there's a thin line between being a hotshot reporter on assignment...and being a single guy alone on a Saturday night at someone else's wedding.
Everything changes on New Year's when Gavin meets Melinda, a travel writer with enchanting dimples. A moonlit stroll across a Manhattan rooftop seals the deal. Until an Aussie with attitude swoops in and whisks her away before Gavin gets her number.
Gavin crisscrosses New York City to find her again. And he learns that there's something worse than losing the woman of his dreams: Having to write an article about her wedding.
How did you begin The Wedding Beat? Did it begin with the character or the storyline?
The Wedding Beat started with a simple idea: My life as a single guy writing about weddings for The New York Times would be much more amusing if it wasn't true. It seemed to me that the story of a guy who yearns to get married while spending his weekends attending other people's weddings could be entertaining (as long as you're not living it). From that conclusion, it was a hop, skip and a jump to deciding the ideal plot would be a wedding columnist falling in love with a bride. (No, this part was not based on my life, but I will admit to having a couple small crushes.) The challenge was figuring out how to keep the character from coming off like a jerk if he was pursuing an engaged woman. Making the protagonist a hopeless romantic helped. Okay, truth be told, being a hopeless romantic myself also helped.
You wrote The Wedding Beat from a man's perspective, but with the intention of having it appeal to a female audience. How did you balance that when writing the book?
This was a major challenge. I initially looked for guidance from other male authors of romantic comedies—which would have been great if I had found any. It turned out that men rarely write novels in this genre (which is odd, because they frequently write films in this genre). But that meant I could offer female readers something unique: an opportunity to look inside a man's mind and get a male perspective on dating and romance. Something I know a bit about, not only from my own experience, but from interviewing more than a thousand bridegrooms. What may or may not be surprising is that when it comes to falling in love, men have the same hopes, fears and hang-ups as women. The difference is they don't like talking about it as much. So the trick was making my protagonist, Gavin, sensitive enough for women to identify with him, without having him engage in touchy-feely topics that would seem inauthentic. I also threw in a female character, Hope, to instigate precisely the kind of conversations that would be outside Gavin's comfort zone as a guy.
In The Wedding Beat, Gavin finds dating and romance challenging in New York City. Do you think that's reflective of how most New York City singles feel?
What's great about dating in New York is that there are more single people here than pretty much any city in the country. More people. More activities. Which means more opportunities to feel badly about not meeting the right person. It's easy to twist New York's adopted theme song into an anthem of self-flagellation: "If I can't meet someone here, I can't meet someone anywhere." But I don't think Gavin's dating problems stem from living in New York. They just seem a bit worse, because he's having them despite living here. You can't go far on a Sunday afternoon in Manhattan without seeing blissful couples cavorting in the meadows of Central Park or the aisles of Dean & Deluca—the kind of couples that Gavin inevitably writes about in his wedding column. Yet New York is a place where anything can happen at any moment. As long as you get yourself out of your apartment, you never know who you may pass on the street or, in Gavin's case, who you may glimpse from across a crowded room.
How much has your experience writing for the New York Times influenced the writing of your debut novel?
Working at the Times has been an extraordinary experience. There's a palpable energy when you enter the Times building, and the passion of the people who work there is matched only by their integrity. Under the guise of fiction, I hoped to share some of that, and I thought readers would enjoy getting a behind-the-scenes look at a big-city newspaper. Or at least the wedding section. The brides and grooms depicted in the book are also fictional, but they were certainly inspired by people I interviewed, who ranged from celebrity chefs to Presidential candidates. I set the story in 2008 to capitalize on the difficult transition taking place in the newspaper industry. Like Gavin, I was living out a contradiction, reporting on lifelong commitments while under the threat of corporate layoffs.
There is a charming and humorous tone in The Wedding Beat. Did you find that writing humor came naturally to you or did it come with practice?
Every time I write a funny line, I'm convinced it's the last one I'll ever write. Until I write the next one. (My writing process involves a lot of suffering.) That being said, I laughed out loud quite a few times while writing the book. Probably at lines that no one else would ever find humorous, but, still, I took it as a good sign. (When you're staring at your computer at four in the morning, you look for any good sign you can find.) I purposely placed Gavin in situations that would maximize the potential for humor, so sometimes all I had to do was set him in motion and the funny lines would follow. Other times it took tedious effort, like taking a watch apart and reassembling it piece by piece. But I think comedy is essential to any kind of writing, even dark, tragic work. Especially dark tragic work. I think laughter opens people up and makes them more receptive to whatever you're trying to communicate.
Can you say a little more about your writing process? What's the first thing you do when you sit down to write?
Procrastinate. That's not a joke. Procrastination is a key part of my writing process (along with the suffering). I literally set aside time for it in my schedule, because whether writing nonfiction or fiction, short form or long, the first thing I do is think of all the reasons I don't want to write the article or chapter or whatever it may be. That's followed by all the reasons I can't write it. Somewhere along the line I transition from avoidance to despair. It's sort of like the Kübler-Ross stages of grief, except in reverse. But after hitting my head against the wall for a day or two (sometimes literally), I somehow come up with an opening paragraph, and from there everything starts to flow. Sometimes fluidly, sometimes in fits and spurts, but there's a growing sense of euphoria as I discover what I want to say and how I want to say it.
So is there anything else you'd like to say? Anything you want people to take away from your book?
My primary goal for this book was to write the best beach read possible. But there are some deeper themes about making commitments – both romantic and professional. I feel Gavin encapsulates the message of the book when he says that "Everything in life is a choice, and I was choosing to be happy." Happiness is a choice. That's what I've learned from writing about weddings, and that's what I hope to share.

Apple's Siri Knows Ilya Bryzgalov Is the Universe, But Doesn't Know Squat About Ice Cream
Feb 26, 2013, 1:13 PM EDT
Apple's Siri has been known to get a bit sassy at times. Sometimes she doesn't feel bad about helping you dispose of a dead body. Other times she'll tell you that Ilya Bryzgalov is the universe. And also Mr. Universe. He's 32 years old.
If you don't get it, here's a little back story on Bryz's love of space.
The fun trick, discovered by Jerry Gaul over at Philly.com, works with several variations on questions involving the universe.
How old is the universe? Ilya Bryzgalov is 32 years old.
Who is Mr. Universe? Ilya Bryzgalov currently plays goalie for the Flyers.
Who is the universe? Ilya Bryzgalov currently plays goalie for the Flyers.
Not bad, geeky Apple employee working on the Siri project who is probably also a hockey fan. Not bad at all.
We played around a bit further after learning of the trick, and we thought one of our questions about knees may have been on the right track, alas, it never led to the Funny Looking Kid With the Big Hair.
You're a smart lady, Siri, but you gotta read more Philly sports blogs to become truly wise.

Location: Aegean Sea
However, the numerous Aegean Islands and mountain gaps are channeling the wind causing gusty, vigorous jet-effects and lee eddies as well as local katabatic winds. Although the etesian winds are part of the large scale Asian monsoon system, the meltemi might also be caused or enhanced by regional-scale weather patterns, i.e. a local heat trough over Turkey and relatively cold Aegean waters and resulting high pressure. This is especially true at the beginning and end of the meltemi season (May to October).
Typical weather associated with a meltemi event is dry with clear skies. Especially during the high season (July to August) a meltemi is heralded by scattered altocumulus and sometimes orographic clouds on the lee side of islands during the previous day. Typically a meltemi is accompanied by a sudden drop in humidity, improved visibility and a raise in atmospheric pressure.

Scene 1: With a resounding crash, the doors to the operating room fly open. The surgical team bursts into the glare of the lights, pushing before them what's left of the patient, a woman in her sixties so slashed and cut up that she's barely alive. The surgeon's voice rises above the din, "Okay, gang, let's see what we've got."
Scene 2: Two women stand quietly side by side, looking down at the animal in the crate before them. Barely able to stand, shaking from the effort, the tan and white dog makes no sound at all. Her head and tail droop, her coat is dull and lifeless. Ribs and spine and hip bones protrude so dramatically that they are reminded of photos of Auschwitz. One of the women lets out a slow sigh. "Why didn't they put this one down?" she wonders. "She'll never make it!"
Scenes from one of TV's medical thrillers? The dramatic start of a documentary by Michael Moore? Nope, neither one.
The first scenario actually happened five years ago to Susan Wallace of Nevada City, California. She had been rushed by helicopter to Sutter Memorial Hospital in Sacramento after a meth-crazed intruder broke into her home, attacked and almost killed her, and set fire to her house. But Susan's doctors and nurses fought valiantly to piece her back together, to replace the huge amount of blood she'd lost, and to give her back her life.
Our second scenario also really happened, just a few months ago. It is, in fact, what this article is about - the inspiring recovery of a diabetic dog named Precious who almost died. Today, thanks to the tenacity of her rescuers and Susan Wallace, Precious is happy and healthy and waiting to be adopted in a special forever home.
How did Susan and Precious happen to cross paths? In 2002, Susan retired from her career as an attorney with the California Justice Department, moved to the picturesque Sierra Nevada foothills, and shifted the focus of her life to working with animals and giving back to her community. A dog lover since childhood, she shared her home with four beloved dogs she had rescued.
The fire set by the intruder in 2005 destroyed her home and killed two of her dogs, Scooter and Molly. The loss, especially that of the little Shih Tzu named Scooter, was a turning point in Susan's life. During her long painful recovery from the attack, Susan found herself searching for a way to turn her grief and loss into a positive and healing force. Eventually she realized that giving another chance at life to dogs that would otherwise die would give her own life new meaning and focus.
In 2007, Susan decided that she could best honor Scooter's memory by establishing a nonprofit organization to rescue dogs that were abandoned, abused, neglected, and homeless, and "Scooter's Pals" was born.
Fast forward to June 2009, when the emaciated tan and white pit bull terrier was rescued from a shelter in Stockton, California. She had been abused by her former owner and had been languishing at the shelter, where she was considered "unadoptable." No one thought she could survive. The shelter needed the space, so she was scheduled to be euthanized.
That is when Fate stepped in. A dedicated animal advocate saw this dog in the shelter, got to know the animal, and realized she was a marvelous dog, loving and extraordinarily good-natured in spite of her condition. When the dog was scheduled to be killed, the animal advocate implored Susan Wallace to help save the dog's life. For Susan, the memory of how the medical team refused to let her die - and her gratitude for getting a second chance at her own life - translated into the same type of commitment to save this poor dog.
Saving "Precious" (as she'd been dubbed because of her gentle disposition) from the shelter was only the beginning. Restoring her health turned into a long, uphill battle, reminiscent of Susan's own. Immediately after her rescue, Precious got bloat (a dangerous swelling and contortion of the stomach and intestines). A well-meaning volunteer, shocked at the dog's emaciation, had overfed and almost killed her. After emergency surgery that saved her life, it became clear that the dog's basic condition was too precarious to release her. She lived at the vet's for months. She was diagnosed with diabetes, put on a restricted diet, and started on insulin, while she continued to stay at the vet's.
By the end of August, Precious showed signs of depression. Susan Wallace, who'd been monitoring the dog's progress and paying the vet bills, set to work to find a foster home where Precious could lead a more normal life. Several attempts to place her were not successful. Finally in September, a Scooter's Pals supporter suggested contacting Patty Letawsky, an experienced dog rescuer who had fostered homeless dogs for years. Patty met Precious, saw her condition, and, understanding the level of care that would be required, took Precious into her home.
In October, Precious encountered one more major hurdle. The vet confirmed that Precious had become almost blind due to cataracts as a result of her diabetes. Susan appealed to the Scooter's Pals network of supporters and, thanks to two generous benefactors, Precious was able to have the miraculous operation that restored her eyesight.
Today, at approximately five years old, Precious is a stable, healthy (although still diabetic) dog. She is spayed, vaccinated, micro-chipped, and on heartworm prevention. She has a strong spirit and loving personality. Patty says, "Her nickname is "Precious-Snortis" because she snorts a lot," and describes her as "a love-bug of a dog that adores people, loves car rides and just hanging out. She's housebroken, gets along well with all the other foster dogs [at Patty's house], and does well with new dogs with a slow introduction (but not cats)."
Patty also reports that measuring Precious' glucose levels and giving her insulin along with her morning and evening meals is "a piece of cake." In fact, it's one of Precious' favorite times each day. As soon as Patty begins preparing her meal, Precious scampers around the house, dives into her crate, and pokes her head out to wait for her food, tail wagging a mile a minute. Patty says, "She doesn't even notice that you're giving her a shot while she's eating!"
Looking back over the past year, Susan says it was an honor to help this dog in Scooter's name, but that the real credit belongs to Patty. Without Patty's skill in nursing sick dogs back to health, without her persistence in figuring out how to balance the dog's insulin and, ultimately, without her understanding of what a wonderful dog this funny-looking canine was, Precious would not have survived. She certainly would never have regained the healthy condition that now allows her to become a normal dog member of a dog-loving family.
"This is the next step," explains Susan, "finding a home for Precious with someone who is not put off by the insulin shots she needs every day. Precious is ready for the forever home she's been wanting all along. Scooter's Pals will provide the insulin and whatever medical care she needs for the rest of her life. All we need now is to find the right home."

Please help find that special person to adopt this amazing dog, Precious - she needs a home and a family of her own.

The Breakerby Minette Walters
A woman's body is found on a deserted shore. Her three-year-old daughter is discovered miles away, alone and abandoned. The suspect is an actor, but Was her husband really on a business trip?
The Chameleon's Shadowby Minette Walters
When British lieutenant Charles Acland returns home from Iraq, his serious head injuries are the outward manifestation of a profound inner change: he may be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, or it may be, as his psychiatrist suggests, "the prolonged destruction of a personality. " Though previously well adjusted and known as an extrovert, Acland now withdraws into himself. As he begins his recovery in a dismal provincial hospital, crippled by migraines and suspicious of his doctors, he grows uncharacteristically aggressive--particularly against women, and most particularly against his ex-fiancee. Finally, rejecting medical advice to undergo cosmetic surgery--opting, instead, to accept his disfigurement--and cutting all ties to his former life, he moves to London. There, alone and unmonitored, he sinks into a quagmire of guilt and paranoia--until an outburst of irrational, vicious anger brings him to the attention of the local police: they are investigating three recent murders, all of them apparently motivated by the kind of extreme rage that Acland has exhibited. Now under suspicion, Acland is forced to confront the issues behind his desperate existence before it's too late: Has he always been the duplicitous chameleon that his ex-fiancee accuses him of being? Can he control this newly apparent sinister side of his personality? And why, if he truly hates women, does he in the end seek help from a woman--someone as straightforward and self-disciplined as he is unsure and seemingly out of control--to repair the damage to his mind? In its timeliness, its psychological complexity, and its unstoppable suspense, "The Chameleon's Shadow" is a thriller of the firstorder.

As the development and growth of enterprises is becoming common, the businesses need to store a huge amount of data and make complex systems. For the same purpose, the latest technology of RAID started. This is an advanced mechanism being used nowadays. With the excess use of this mechanism, people are in need of some professional techniques that can be used for the process of RAID 10 recovery. This is complex storage technique which can sometime result in data loss.
RAID has different levels depending on the storage patterns of data as well as the ease in resisting data loss problems. Some of the levels are the simple levels, while higher levels are complex categories. Similarly, RAID 10 recovery is a complex in the same way as all other higher levels as compared to the lower levels. The RAID system is built using several disks and problems in the functionality results in data loss. The professional way of recovering is to avoid running the repairing utility of inaccessible drives. By avoiding defragmentation in drives, the status of drives can be known whether it is good or not. RAID 10 recovery includes avoidance of rebuilding when one comes to know that multiple drives are being failed.
How RAID Can Be Helpful In Small Business?
Those who are running any type of small business must have heard of Redundant Array of Independent Disks that can help in overall business development. This is a very useful tool, and it can be used in many ways before one needs the RAID repair to be done. Here are some reasons for all business areas to work with RAID support.
Before anything else, the RAID is not just a drive, but many of them put in one. In case one drive fails, there is always another one to work instead. In case of drive failure, the most important thing is to keep the data safe, and with RAID, it is finally possible to do. This is especially important when it comes to businesses, because it cannot wait, and it is crucial to keep working. The best thing about this is that no one will need an experienced RAID repair service. There are many data recovery services one can call, but they are usually not fast enough, and in many cases, they are not able to save the data. Nonetheless, a RAID is not some magical drive that cannot be broken, so there are some cases when the professional assistance is needed.

Dion Phaneuf was one of the most hotly discussed players to come from the 2003 NHL Entry Draft class. In our re-draft, he moves up five spots to 4th overall, despite his well-documented defensive issues.
Looking at draft eligible defenceman Matthew Dumba of the WHL's Red Deer Rebels
With less than a month until the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, mock drafts of what the Lightning will do are becoming easier to find, with little consistency.
It's not a bad time to familiarize yourself with the 2012 NHL draft class and prospects who may fall to the Bolts.
Just seven games into his NHL career it looks as if Nugent-Hopkins could play a significant role in remaking the Oilers into a contending team once again. He's the team leader in both goals and points but if the Oilers want their best shot to be a contender and win a Stanley Cup down the road they need to send Nugent-Hopkins back to Red Deer.
Jonathan Willis picks up Scott's interest in Brett Ferguson and wonders if he can make it with the Oilers.
Tallon, Inc continues moving forward in signing recent draftees, as Red Deer Rebels defenseman Alexander Petrovic, the 36th overall selection in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, went official today with a...
A brief post game interview with top prospect Ryan Nugent Hopkins
The Kanada-malje playoffs got underway in Finland, with the Helsinki derby showing some nastiness early as star forward Mikael Granlund was injured on a big hit. Read about that and all your playoff news outside of the NHL in the morning recap on Puck Worlds.
Oiler fans take note: The latest rankings from International Scouting Services have come out and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is the new top dog. The Red Deer Rebels centre supplants Swedish blueliner Adam Larsson atop the high-profile list of draft-eligible prospects. This is significant because as ISS #1, RNH is in the exact same position as Taylor Hall was this time last year. Meanwhile, the Oilers are still the Oilers. Prospectophiles may be interested in this pictorial feature of "Hoppy" in action last weekend posted by yours truly over at the Cult of Hockey. He's a fun player to watch. Includes bonus coverage of Oiler draftee Martin Marincin.

The city is opening the pool for the Piedmont Polar Plunge, an event the city will host to help a local charity and to give residents the opportunity to do something new. The idea is for participants to brave the elements, wading into the water during the coldest time of year. Piedmont Mayor Bill Baker got the idea while watching people take a dip in Lake Michigan on TV years ago.
"I knew I'd never go to Michigan so I thought, 'Let's bring it to Piedmont,'" Baker said. "I have a little daredevil in me."
A $10 entry fee will be charged to anyone who wants to take a dip, but bystanders can watch for free. The money will go to the Venecia Foundation, a local charity that cares for cancer patients undergoing treatment.
"People normally just won't jump in the water in January unless there is a good reason," Baker said.
Records on the National Weather Service's website show that an average high temperature of 53 for Jan. 4 in Anniston, the nearest site on record. The average low, according to the site, is 33. Meteorologist with the service forecast sunny conditions for Piedmont Saturday with a high of 46.
People who decide to take a dip will be able to jump, slide or run into the new salt-water pool. It has a diving board, a spiral slide and sloping beach-style access into the shallow end.
Local emergency medical personnel will be on hand to help if anyone experiences health problems from the plunge, and members of a dive team will be waiting in wet suits just in case they need to make a rescue, Baker said.
The city also will have a bonfire, coffee and hot chocolate to help people warm up after they get out of the pool. The new facility also has locker rooms where participants can change into dry clothes.
"It just really fell into place," Baker said. "I hope we have a tremendous crowd."

Citizen Yoga
Practicing since the age of twelve, Kacee's exploration of yoga became not only a form of physical exercise, but self-expression and self-exploration. Kacee graduated from Northwestern in 2006 with a Bachelors Degree in Communication Studies with a concentration in Anthropology.
In the summers of 2004 and 2005, she traveled throughout Southeast Asia, studying Buddhism and Thai culture, as well as volunteering as an English teacher in a local Thai school. After graduation, she explored Turkey, Israel, Australia and more. In 2007, she moved to Michigan and began a study of energy healing, nutrition, massage and yoga.
These studies led Kacee to enrolling at the Vedanta Academy in India where she completed 2 ½ years. The Academy educates one in Vedic Philosophy and Classical English Poetry.
The philosophy equips the individual with a deep understanding of the human constitution and provides tools for a person to better relate to oneself and the world.
Kacee is thrilled to share this knowledge with her students at her studio Citizen Yoga in Royal Oak!

Tiger, in his Friday morning speech with friends and selected reporters, looked like a 52-semitruck pileup on Vail Pass. It was horrific and nauseating, yet I couldn't turn away. And I am still trying to figure out why he produced the media stunt anyway.
There are no laws that said Tiger had to get in front of the camera to apologize and from the looks and sounds of it, he isn't yet really sorry he did it and doesn't feel like he should be sorry. He's Tiger Woods damn it. He is this generation's greatest athlete. He can do whatever he wants. His scripted, unemotional and uninspired speech did not help his cause with his fans one bit. It was almost like he was forced out there to apologize against his will like a mother forces her son to apologize to the store clerk after getting caught stealing a Weird Al album. Yes I did it. I am not sorry for doing it, I am sorry for getting caught. You could tell that Tiger Woods was pissed at the notion that he had to stoop so low and actually say he is sorry.
Perhaps we are learning who the real Tiger Woods is after all. We all know he's a great golfer and businessman. He likes birdies, money and sex. The sex – at least they way Tiger likes it – he can't have anymore. And the money made with golf and endorsements he can still have, but only if he apologizes and makes nice. Just maybe there is an endorsement out there for him somewhere. That is what Friday's news conference was all about – getting back to business and back to making money. Tiger has never cared what his fans think and he obviously doesn't now. Believe me, this was all about business.
For those of you who say he is truly sorry for what he did, why was the whole media event done on his terms and scripted? No questions? More importantly, no humility? He came off with such arrogance, I liked him less after his statement.
The part I liked the most on Friday morning was when his apology turned to an angry tirade aimed at the media for suggesting that Elin actually hit him on Thanksgiving night.
"I have a lot to atone for, but there is one issue I really want to discuss," Tiger said. "Some people have speculated that Elin somehow hurt or attacked me on Thanksgiving night. It angers me that people would fabricate a story like that."
Well, Tiger, I guess you could have put that fire out quickly by telling the media what happened instead of running away from it like you did. Instead, here we have a sober celebrity who wrecked his car, his wife was involved and there are two broken windows in his SUV caused by a golf club and Tiger says, my wife tried to help rescue me through the back windows. Are we all that stupid? I guess so.
The fact of the matter here with the media is that it has given Tiger nothing but nonstop, world's best golfer coverage for the last 10 years. All the positive media didn't seem to hurt him so bad, did it? He was on the cover of every legible magazine in every nation from here to China. Unfortunately, with the media, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Want to be as rich and popular as Tiger? The media and all its problems come with it. Tiger is not a private person and he should have known that before he scribbled his room number on the back of that Perkins receipt.
I hope Tiger is able to get back to doing what everybody likes about the guy – playing good golf. And maybe, just maybe he will learn to be more human in all of this and show a little less arrogance.

Proper diagnosis is the key first step with clutch problems
Find out the key first step to diagnosing clutch problems on manual transmissions.
When you're satisfied with the alignment, ease the transmission ahead to engage the input shaft with the clutch splines. To "feel" where the two are at, sometimes it's helpful to leave the trans in gear so you can turn the input shaft by turning the output yoke. With a little practice, you'll get the feel of the splines engaging in no time.
Once the splines are engaged, move the trans ahead keeping it aligned at all times. You'll be amazed how easy the gearbox will slide in when everything's right.
When the transmission is back in place, install the mounting bolts and torque them to specifications. Connect the shift linkage and any necessary wiring.
Connect the clutch linkage (if it's hydraulic, bleed the system to ensure proper slave cylinder action). Top off the clutch master cylinder when you're through.
Check a shop manual for the clutch free-play specification that applies to that specific model. Never leave a car go without checking and then rechecking the free-play adjustment. If there's too little free play, the throwout bearing may wear out prematurely and the clutch may slip. Too much free play can result in a dragging clutch and gear clash when changing speeds. Although some of today's cars use self-adjusting clutches that appear to leave little felt free play, there is a preliminary adjustment to make sure the self-adjuster works correctly from there.
Finally, road test the car to make sure that the clutch problem is gone.
By following these simple guidelines, you can keep clutch repairs — and customers — from slipping away.

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
Usually we only get one cataclysmic,
world-changing Linux event per month, but it looks like we had two this month. The first was the news that Oracle plans to produce a spin-off of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and sell support for way less than Red Hat is charging. The second was the announcement of a deal between Microsoft and Novell in which, reportedly, Microsoft provides a patent covenant offering protection to users of Suse Linux from suits for patent infringement. It is hard to explicate both these explosions in just one page, so I guess I should just pick one. If anything, the Oracle announcement seems to have more potential for altering the landscape, but maybe that means I should talk about the Novell deal because there is a greater disparity between what it means and what it sounds like it means. This new patent covenant from Microsoft seems fully intended to invert itself in the mind of the viewer. The user is supposed to think, "If Microsoft will not sue the users of Suse, that means they will sue the users of other Linux distros. If they will sue users of other distros, that means I'd better not use the other distros, which means I'd better use Suse."

Soft and lightweight cotton/modal jersey. Lined. Imported.
Our five-layer party skirt is fun, flattering, and festive without being tutu frilly. The combination of mesh and sequins adds a frill to any event all season long.

Three layers of poly mesh, one layer with sequins, and a knit lining with mesh ruffle at hem. Exposed metal zipper in the back adds a little edge. Knee length. Poly. Imported.

Cotton corduroy with a hint of spandex. Imported.

Sleek waistband with hidden side zip. Slight A-line. Ankle length. Cotton with cotton lining. Imported.

In two subtle neutrals and a subtle animal print, it's the type of skirt that pairs prettily with any sweater of the season (and if it's cashmere, so much the better). A-line silhouette. Invisible side zipper with a button at the waist. Maxi length. Poly. Lined. Imported.
The graphic pop of a jacquard print turns ultra-wearable with our refined iteration rendered in small scale. Equally chic with an embellished top or basic denim. The fit is super modern, with a clean, straight shape and mini length. Hidden back zip. Poly/viscose jacquard. Fully lined. Imported.
As seen in O, The Oprah Magazine Based on our fan-favorite voile skirt, this year's version is made perfect with pockets!

Knee length. 100% cotton. Imported.
An abundance of modern styling makes this the skirt for all occasions. Made of slubbed pima cotton/modal, the gored panels create a wavy hemline complemented by unique seaming details. Calf length. Imported.

It is something of a sign of the times. Even though the unemployment rate is dropping nationwide, there's still a big, big demand for jobs, especially here in Chicago.
Hundreds of people braved the cold on Thursday, hoping to get just one thing for Christmas this year: A job at Mariano's. Many of those hopefuls are being laid off by Dominick's.
Mariano's is the grocery store chain that's expanding and hoping to build a bigger base in the Chicago area. Job seekers started a queue outside the Crown Plaza Metro Hotel early Thursday morning, for a first appointment with hiring staff.
Mariano's announced will be buying 11 of the Dominick's stores, as the grocery company closes all 72 of its stores at the end of the year. More than 6,000 jobs will be lost when Dominick's disappears, but Mariano's will be filling 2,500 new positions – about 250 at each of the 11 stores.
Many job fair attendees are Dominick's employees hoping to continue to work in the grocery business. The man in charge for hiring for Roundy's, Mariano's parent company, told FOX 32 News they're looking for people with experience in the food industry, as well as people who just want to get started.
"We're getting a great response," he said. "We've had at least a couple hundred folks come through railroad this morning, we were expecting 350 plus for the day. I think we'll exceed those expectations. The people here have been very excited about Mariano's, and obviously the customers are excited."
The bottom line? People need to work. One applicant has been doing volunteer work while searching for a new permanent position. With the holidays coming soon, he told FOX 32 that he definitely needs the money.
"We provide some great opportunities for people," he concluded. "Maybe also part-time, full-time, right up to management positions - to grow with us."
Thursday's job fair is the first of three that Mariano's will be holding in the Chicago area this week. The other two will be held in Skokie on Friday and Burr Ridge on Saturday.

LOUDONVILLE The public is invited to a free viewing of the award-winning documentary, Split Estate, to be shown at the Ohio Theatre in Loudonville on Saturday at 3 p.m. This film is produced and directed by filmmaker Debra Anderson, who is credited with more than 30 national television programs broadcast on PBS, National Geographic, HBO, A&E, and AMC. Advising producer is three-time Emmy Award winning Michael Mirendorf and narration is by Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe-winning actress, Ali MacGraw.
This film maps a tragedy in the making, as citizens in the path of a new drilling boom in the Rocky Mountain West struggle against the erosion of their civil liberties, their communities and their health. Exempt from federal protections like the Clean Water Act, the oil and gas industry has left this idyllic landscape and its rural communities pockmarked with abandoned homes and mounting public health concerns.
Stewards of the Land was formed to raise public awareness about this highly disruptive industry and encourage our public officials to prepare for any circumstances that may arise as a result of this process.
Brian Egolf, New Mexico State Representative states: This is a must-see film for any elected official who deals with natural resource issues and the impact that oil and gas extraction can have on a community. Anyone who sees the film will be changed by the experience for the better. Bill Richardson, Governor of New Mexico from 2003-2011 states: This film is of value to anyone wrestling with rational, sustainable energy policy.
